Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,
I have some qurey.In my model there is a heating wall of certain thickness.Heat is transfering to the wall and also from the wall to the ambient at inner an outer surface.I am using 2-D axisymetric model.When i calculate the normal heat flux it gives me some value which is the heat going to the wall but how to find the heat leaking to the atmoshper from the same boundry.Should I take the absolute (ntflux_htgh).It gives me different value than ntflux_htgh.Should I take absolute value of heat leaking to the atmosphere or I should subtract the value from ntflux_htgh?
Please do guid me

Thank you in advance .
